10 Fun Things to do with Polymer Clay

I remember when I was first introduced to polymer clay in art class.  I was super psyched at all the possibilities the little colored blocks contained (I made a set of dice, which was not very functional, but pretty!).  Years later, I am still discovering ways to use the stuff.  Here's a list of 10 fun things to create along with some examples.
